DVD/CD Writer

I have a DVD/CD Writer DH16A1L that came with a HP Pavilion 4990.

I dumped Vista and installed WinXP Pro.

When using the DVD/CD the writer states that the media is Read Only.

Windows XP does not have direct support for DVD burning like it does for CD
burning. You need a 3rd party package like Nero, Roxio, or the freeware
CDBurnerXPPro (which also burns DVDs)... Ben Myers

Ben,

You are right on again.

Once I had the proper software in place everything worked as designed.

Thanks
